BATTERY POWERED LIGHTING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. Battery powered lighting system comprising:
- one or more illuminating units;
at least one battery module comprising one or more rechargeable batteries, for providing electrical power to said one or more illuminating units;
a first temperature sensor arranged to measure a temperature of said battery module;
a charger for charging said battery module;
a discharger for discharging said battery module by powering said one or more illumination units;
a control system arranged to;
receive measurement data from said first temperature sensor;
receive or determine a lighting profile, said lighting profile comprising information on illumination levels during a certain time period;
adjust said lighting profile using said measurements received from said first temperature sensor, to render an adjusted lighting profile which assures that said temperature of said battery module stays above a predefined temperature;
control said charger and discharger using said adjusted lighting profile.

Abstract
There is provided a battery powered lighting system having illuminating units and a battery module with rechargeable batteries for providing electrical power to the illuminating units. A temperature sensor is arranged to measure a temperature of the battery pack. A charger and discharger are arranged to (dis)charge the battery module, where discharging means powering the illumination units. A control system is arranged to adjust a lighting profile using measurements received from the temperature sensor. The adjusted lighting profile will assures that the temperature of said battery module stays within a predefined temperature range, and in particular above a predefined temperature. This will extend the life time of the batteries.
